During my modification of Word document I see the XE field - for
index.
I don't know how to hide it.
It disturbs me as I modify the text formating.
Can you tell me how to hide it?
I tried Ctrl+Shift+8 and Alt+F9 but it does not influence on XE field.
Unlike most other fields, the XE field is automatically marked with Hidden
font format but doesn't collapse when Alt+F9 is pressed. To be "helpful",
Word turns on the display of all nonprinting characters whenever you mark an
index entry.
The Ctrl+Shift+8 shortcut should have worked, but there's another
possibility. Look at Tools > Options > View (in Word 2007, Office button >
Word Options > Display). If the "Hidden text" box is checked, that isn't
toggled by the shortcut or by the ¶ button (which affect only the "All"
box). Uncheck all of the boxes in that section.
